new plugs...new wires....timing is at 16. what the hell now? could a damadged distributor cap or coil cause missfireing, if soo how do i check it?

 

If the car is stock...take that sucker back to honda...

 

Define misfiring. Popping out the exhaust, out the intake. It could be a bad igniter unit. Possibly tight or bent valves.

 

Start with the simplest thing first and make sure you've plugged in the wires to the distributor in the right order.

Same thing happened with mine. Bad distributor coils.

 

thanks guys ill check the easy things first, but could bent valves cause a poping sound? when i let of the gas i feel a pop. but threw out the entire band it seems to missfire ,like loose and regain power.

i aslo forgot to mention that i blew a distributor fuse at the track

 

 

Honda distributors are the biggest piece of **** under the sun.

 

so do u think an MSD cap and coil would help me out, or should i replace it with a new stock one?

 

I'd replace the cap and rotor with Honda OEM stuff, and see if that helps...

I missed it, did you say how many miles you have on your car?

 

Yes honda distributors are terrible!!
I had a misfiring problem and checked the distributor to find that half the teeth were broken off the reluctor gear!!!
Car would fall right on its face. its amazing it even ran.

 

That's about like mine. After 7,000rpms the car just died. I swear it dropped 40whp. In fact in pissed off attempt the speedo stopped moving at the 135mph mark. After distributor was fixed it pegged past the 150 mark as usual. Don't do this though it was stupid.

 

Before blaming the distributor.. check if all 4 fuel Injector is running.
any CEL?

 

this is a hell uv a lot what is hapening to me....what should i replace. I havent checked my injectors but no CEL.

 

ive replaced the distributor cap and rotor, plug wires and plugs, what else is there to replace?
